Astros Stymie Minnesota, Take 4-0 Win
Robbie Ray pitched a gem to lead Houston to a 4-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Houston is off to a sluggish start, getting just their 6th win in 24 games.

Making an impact for the home team was Jason Heyward. In the bottom of the third, the six-time Great Glove Award winner had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. That made the score 2-0, Astros.

"I'm proud of the boys for pulling through," said Astros manager Jim Reid. "The wins don't come easy for this team, but everyone's got an extra jump in their step after a game like this."
